International Copyright Protection
Clients often ask our copyright attorneys about international copyright protection for their creations. Copyright law does not have a centralized system in place for registering IP protection internationally like with patent law and trademark law. Instead, certain foreign countries protect works of authorship created in the U.S. while others do not extend copyright protection to U.S. authors. Thus, international copyright protection requires a country-by-country analysis by an experienced copyright attorney.
